IMPROVEMENT |N FIRE-ARMS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 202,627, dated April 23, 1878 applcationled February 13, 1878.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. BLIss, of Norwich, in the county of New London and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Pistols, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification, reference'being had to the accompanying drawings.

The object of my invention is to unite the plate and stud of a pistol in one solid piece,

Whereas before my invention they have 'been in two or more pieces.

Figure 1 denotes the pistol, without plate or stud. Fig. 2 denotes pistol, with plate or stud. Fig. 3 denotes plate and stud combined when out of pistol.

The advantages of my invention are, iirst, you can readily set lock D, so as to iit it to its parts before the stud and plate A are pnt in place; second, with my invention, when plate and stud A are placed in pistol, they are firmly fixed, leaving a smooth surface outside, and notliable to work out, as heretofore; when they are in two parts or more.

I am aware that it is not new to close a circular opening in side of the pistol bya disk yperforated for a screw, which secures it and WM. H. BLISS.
